]The Olympic Champion’s opinion is sure to spark even more debate just over a month since Noah Lyles’ “world champions” jibe aimed at NBA players triggered a lot of stars into rubbishing his sentiments.
Reigning Olympic 800 meter champion Athing Mu has made a daring remark on the difficulty of the racing category she specializes in, describing it as ‘the hardest event in track’.
Mu, who is the youngest woman in history to win both the Olympic and world titles in an individual track and field event, appeared to be in the mood to ruffle a few feathers when she posted a picture on her instagram page accompanied by the rather provocative caption.
“The 800m is the hardest event in track. Quote me,” the caption read.
As expected, the caption naturally sparked debate in her comments section. Although most of the users seemed to agree with her in efforts to shower her with praise, some users naturally disagreed.
One of her fans begged to differ, saying the 10,000 meters category was the hardest there is in track and field.

Coach Metamorphosis, another user who replied, stated “I am an 800 and 400 c/v runner but I consider the 1500 to be the hardest test on the track.”

"I gave up trying to break the 200m World Record in Budapest' - Noah Lyles
Noah Lyles has confirmed that winning the 100m and 200m titles at the World Championships in Budapest wasn't easy, and had to give up on breaking Usain Bolt's 200m World Record.
“Try racing the Steeplechase, 5k & 10k then come back & tell me that the 800 is the toughest track event."
Arjun Natarajan believes that it is the 3000 meter steeplechase event that is the hardest.
“It’s obviously the steeplechase — if it was easier more people would do it but nobody does.”
Her opinion is sure to spark even more debate just over a month since Noah Lyles’ “world champions” jibe aimed at NBA players triggered a lot of basketball stars into rubbishing his sentiments.
Mu won the Olympic 800 meters gold medal held in Tokyo in 2021, before following it up with another gold at the World Athletics Championships held in Oregon in 2022
